Floral Birthday Reflections Card

***Please stop by HERE for Savannah's anniversary video and giveaways!

Hi friends, it's Kalyn! I hope you're enjoying your weekend and maybe getting some crafty time in! I just ordered some new supplies and can't wait to start playing.

Today I'm sharing a colorful spring-inspired birthday card and a tutorial video so you can see how I created it!






I used a mix of flowers and leaves from the Reflections set as well as a sentiment from the Happy Birthday set. They're both great staple sets to have in your collection, so be sure to check them out in the Paper Smooches store!

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Patterned Pastel Spring Card

Hi there, Kalyn here! I hope you're experiencing some nice spring weather where you are. After a snowy Friday where I live, it's finally starting to warm up. Bring on spring! To help welcome in spring, I've got a card to share featuring the Spring Groves stamp set as well as some butterfly dies from the Butterflies 2 set and the Just For You Icons set.

I've also created a video so you can see how it all came together:







I used lots of patterned paper on this card (one of my favorite things to do) and made it as spring-y as possible. Hope you liked it and thanks so much for stopping by today!
